I think the use of skos:preflabel and skos:altlabel may be restrictive
and confusing.
For example, in biological sciences, we have scientific name, local name
and common name for plants, fish and other living things. Which should
be the preferred name? It depends on the context. Likewise we can have
labels in different languages.
I would like to suggest the use of skos:label with a type attribute
where the type can be "preferred", "alternate" and any other appropriate
name.
